Answer:

The biggest lesson with the use of cloud computing services is that one should act as if unsecured even after purchasing the best and most "technologically advanced "

Many Cloud Computing Service provider always secure their layers. However, many users fo the services don't secure their systems. Some leave default passwords as it, weak passwords and or no advanced firewalls but those preinstalled with their systems using default settings.

Those contemplating cloud services must ensure that:

  1. they change default passwords into very strong passwords;
  2. users must at the very least configure firewalls to prevent easy access. There are specialized software for this;
  3. users must thoroughly research the cloud service provider before making a purchase;
  4. Regular cybersecurity training will also help users take the best steps in protecting themselves.

Cheers!
